^&ABSTRACT\&:

This file describes the modifications for RUNOFF/RSX to allow it to be used
on RT-11, and the differences from a user point of view.
The manual (RUNOFF.RNO) reflects these changes. No changes
have been made in the required source format of .RNO files.
.s
A utility programme (COMPAG) has been included in this disc.
It assists the user in combining pages horizontally (eg fitting
2 pages of 60-column output onto a 132-column printer page).
.hl 1 Command String Interpreter
RUNOFF now uses the standard RT-11 command string interpreter,
allowing input _& output files with control switches. These are documented
in section 3.2.2 of the RUNOFF manual.
Multiple input files are allowed, and these are concatenated.
This is useful in having a parameter file setting up things like paper
size, autoparagraph, etc rather than including this in each file. For example,
the file RUNOFF.RNO (the RUNOFF manual) has the paper size specified as
".PS,80". This uses the default page length and sets the paper width to 80.
Should a different page length be required (eg 46 lines on a TTY43), this
can be accomodated by

.hl 1 Assembly of RUNOFF
Assembly _& loading of RUNOFF is documented in the manual in Appendix
B. Most of the source files are exactly as per RSX, but three were RSX/RSTS
specific. These were RNFIO, RNORSX, and START. The ideas behind these
have been incorporated in an RT-11 dependent file, RNRT11.
The file RSTS merely defines the parameter RSTS=1, as the code for RSTS
is closer to that for RT-11 than the code for RSX.
Command files (RTMAC and RTLOAD) are included in the distribution disc.
.hl 1 Differences for the User

Switch defaults are different (form-feeds between pages, no hyphenation)
and there is no /SP (spooling) switch.
No form-feed is output at the beginning of the output file.
A new appendix has been added to the manual. This lists all the commands
and their abbreviations, with some related commands.
